sometimes these errors are rare, some other times are very frequent like today ;(
and i see them in all pairs (CNY/NBT,NBT/BTC)
i just try to figure out if BTER has the problem by trying to manually fetch those coin “balances” and “order book”
with my API keys but i had no success. I am not even sure if i did it wrong or BTER is faulty!
I hope we can fix it soon.

I have a 3rd party app, bitcoin checker, that has been getting parsing errors the last week or so only on bter, no other exchanges. This coincides with when I started seeing these errors occur in the bot. You are right that they pervade all versions of the software and all pairs on Bter.

The issue with orders being credited is a deviation problem. The bot is not properly deleting and replacing orders when the price drifts out of the band determined by the deviation. Normally, if the price changes by 0.25% in either direction from the starting price of the bot, the bot will delete the orders and replace them. This is not working properly, potentially because the bot is having problems reading the order book from Bter.

The bandaid solution is to decrease your reset_timer to 0.25 or possibly lower (0.15?) to force the bot to re-place the orders.
